			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a ramble to relieve my horror at the oppression of the people of Iran by the clerics of Islam.</p>
<p>It is quite obvious to me that the clerics of Islam have no belief in Allah/God because of their behaviour. They claim that they have the authority of Allah and follow the tenets of the Prophet, however, the Prophet and all other prophets, comdemned murder as a mortal sin which would be punishable by eternity in hell.  This sentence would be enough for any believer to take notice and to refrain from committing murder to ensure that they have a chance of  ending up in heaven. This is not the case for the clerics of Islam, here we have the Ayatollar and his side kicks, not only endorsing the murder of Iranian citizens that disagree with them but they encourtage the murders and even offer a reward for those that commit the murders in the name of the Ayatoller and therefore Allah/ God.</p>
<p>It is obvious that the heads of Islam, and all the other religions, have no more belief in God than I do and I&#8217;m a confirmed atheist. It is clear that sience has now answered most of the questions that gave rise to the belief in gods as an answer to questions such as the origins of life and evolution etc. Now the need to ensure that a belief in gods continues is purely to give authority and power to the likes of Ayatollars, Popes and Rabiis and the like and they have shown over time that they are prepared to commit murder and mayhem to ensure that their authority is maintained.</p>
<p>This is not a recent development, the not too distant case of the Muslim thug that filmed as he carved the head off an innocent, good man in Iraq and then held the head aloft and shouted &#8221; Allahu Akbar &#8221; must have been the greatest act of blaspheme ever. The act of murder was blamed directly onto Allah, but not one cleric thought that it was worth condemning this act of blaspheme. However, when a Danish cartoonist depicted the Prophet with a bomb in his turban, that was an act of blaspheme that warranted the calling of murder of the cartoonist and the cartoonist wasn&#8217;t even a Muslim. Such hypocrisy can only further show that these clerics are infact just using the naivity of the brain washed general population to abuse power and advance their own ends.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it a blessing that old age will eventually rid the world of these cursed creatures, but unfortunately, they seem to often get replaced by others that have similar desires.</p>
